Chapter 17: Lou and Kim
Reia, still filled with rage, did not want to give up, but she had already used too much of her essence on breaking the old man's shield.
"Damnit!" Reia dropped her sword on the ground and hit the essence wall with her fists, frustrated that the old man got away.
Akira knelt to her side wrapping his arm around her shoulder trying to provide comfort.
Reia continued to hit the wall with her fists and gritted her teeth out of anger while tears started to flow from her eyes as she muttered a na.
"Octavia, I'm sorry."
Akira did not know who that was as he doesn't recall an upperclassman nad Octavia. Although curious he knew it was not the right ti to ask and was willing to wait to find out the full story.
'There is more to this bastard old man than that encounter with Reia. If just seeing him causes such a strong emotional reaction from her, it might be one of the reasons why she was so heartless after graduation.' Akira ca to his own assumptions, hoping that Reia will explain what truly happened.
Reia gave up on hitting the essence wall and started to cling to Akira without even realising it, trying to calm herself down.
Akira patted the back of Reia's head slowly trying his best to calm Reia down.
'I am so glad Lou isn't here to see this.' Akira knew that if Lou were around, the scene of them hugging would be the product of endless teasing and it would be like he never left the academy.
Despite the small age gap Akira still knew everyone from Reia's squad before they entered the military and would always hang around them until they graduated. It was only when they graduated that Akira got to know his future squad that he would beco the leader of.
'I promise you squad 2, I won't let this one die on .' Akira made a promise to himself, although not the squad leader would still do his best to protect Reia's squad and continue to be the pillar of support.
